Traditions are an important part of culture, and they are perhaps more prevalent at our nation’s service academies than other academic institutions. Some United States Military Academy's (USMA) traditions have changed over time, others falling by the wayside or morphing into newer terms and traditions. Some have been around for almost as long as the academy, such as class rings (1835).
